The impact of fiscal food policies on the macro-economy
The UK government announced the ‘Soft Drinks Industry Levy’ (SDIL), a tiered tax on sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), in 2016 and implemented the tax in 2018. Traditional economic assessments of SSB tax interventions focus on assessing healthcare cost implications using the standard Cost-of-Illness methodology. No studies have so far attempted to apply macroeconomic assessment methods to assess net macroeconomic impacts of SSB taxes, including an…
Influence of public external debt on government health expenditure
Public external debt burdens of low- and middle-income countries have grown substantially over the past decade linked to increased borrowing. Our empirical understanding of how external official loans and their ensuing debt burden may impact government health spending at the individual country level is limited. We aimed to better understand these relationships through a case study of Senegal. We conducted a mixed-methods case study using descript…
Characterising public opinion for food-based fiscal policies in the UK
Various fiscal policies have been proposed to incentivise healthy and sustainable diets, with differing proposed attributes and levels. Public support can influence the ability for such policies to be implemented but is currently poorly understood, so two discrete choice experiments (DCEs) were used to measure such preferences among 2,020 adults in the UK. The attributes and levels for 192 policy options were identified using a scoping review tha…
Development partner influence on domestic health financing contributions in Senegal
Sustainable and equitably contributed domestic health financing is essential for improving health and making progress towards Universal Health Coverage (UHC) in low- and middle-income countries. In this study, we explore the pathways through which development partners influence the combination of domestic health financing sources in Senegal. We performed a qualitative case study that comprised 32 key stakeholder interviews and a purposive documen…
Stark choices
OBJECTIVES: COVID-19 has altered health sector capacity in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). Cost data to inform evidence-based priority setting are urgently needed. Consequently, in this paper, we calculate the full economic health sector costs of COVID-19 clinical management in 79 LMICs under different epidemiological scenarios. METHODS: We used country-specific epidemiological projections from a dynamic transmission model to dete…
The impact of Covid-19, associated behaviours and policies on the UK economy
We estimate the potential impact of COVID-19 on the United Kingdom economy, including direct disease effects, preventive public actions and associated policies. A sectoral, whole-economy macroeconomic model was linked to a population-wide epidemiological demographic model to assess the potential macroeconomic impact of COVID-19, together with policies to mitigate or suppress the pandemic by means of home quarantine, school closures, social distan…
International trade, dietary change, and cardiovascular disease health outcomes
United Nations (UN) member states have, since 2011, worked to address the emerging global NCD crisis, but progress has, so far, been insufficient. Food trade policy is recognised to have the potential to impact certain major diet-related health and environmental outcomes. We study the potential for using import tariff protection as a health and environmental policy instrument. Specifically, we apply a rigorous and consistent Macroeconomic-Environ…
Palm oil and dietary change
Palm oil is a cooking oil and food ingredient in widespread use in the global food system. However, as a highly saturated fat, palm oil consumption has been associated with negative effects on cardiovascular health, while large scale oil palm production has been linked to deforestation. We construct an innovative fully integrated Macroeconomic-Environmental-Demographic-health (MED-health) model to undertake integrated health, environmental, and e…
Labor Market Reforms, Growth, and Unemployment in Labor-Exporting Countries in the Middle East and North Africa
This paper studies the impact of labor market policies on growth and unemployment in labor-exporting countries in the Middle East and North Africa. The analysis is based on a framework that captures many of the main features of the labor market in these countries. We conduct a variety of policy experiments, including a reduction in payroll taxation, cuts in public sector wages and employment, an increase in employment subsidies, a reduction in tr…
